Continuous InnovationFirstDefender analyzers continue to evolve to meet the demanding requirements of elite military personnel and civilianfirst responders. Improved algorithms and tagging ensure that the instrument offers military organizations, hazmatteams, bomb squads and law enforcement personnel a unique tool for identification of various threats.
Complementary and ConfirmatoryRaman spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy, the underlying technologies in the FirstDefenderand TruDefender® product families, are highly precise and selective optical techniques, eachoffering distinct advantages in specific applications. When used together, FTIR and Ramanspectroscopy provide confirmatory results and a broader range of unknown substance identification — leading to better protection for the responder and the community.
